GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The sunroof is of the glass type with sunshade curtain. It can be completely opened or moved to the "quarter light" position which allows air to escape from the passenger compartment but limits the ventilation.
The control button (6) is located on the central front courtesy light panel (1) of the passenger compartment. The sunroof consists of an external glass (4) which slides on guides, and an inner trim (3).
The frame of the sunroof (5), complete with guides and slides, is located under the roof panel and is not visible. The rails are connected to the glass roof supports and to the interior trim and are connected by flexible racks. These flexible racks are moved by an electric motor through a toothed wheel and activate the slides. When the sunroof is open, the spoiler (2) automatically moves to a position which corrects the air flow. Any water that drips through the seal of the metal panel is collected by channels located on the four corners of the frame and is then drained off through flexible hoses which are routed to the engine or luggage compartment drains.
The operating sequence is shown in the following table:
| Initial position of the roof | Operation | Movement of the roof |
|---|---|---|
| Roof closed | Press "A" | The roof opens |
| Roof open | Press "B" | The roof closes |
| Roof closed | Press "B" | The roof opens to the quarter light position |
| Roof open to quarter light position | Press "A" | The roof closes |
